American Airlines Announces Change to Controversial Policy

American Airlines announced a recent change to its policy regarding drink service on long domestic flights.

In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, American Airlines ended its second drink runs on longer flights; if a traveler wanted a second beverage, they had to either press the call button and summon crew members, or wait until landing. 

However, last Tuesday, the airline shared it was reversing course, bringing back second drink service for domestic flights of 1,500 miles or more.
